CARROT CAKE RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/moist-ca...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
If you’re looking for an incredibly moist carrot cake that is EXPLODING with flavour, then this recipe IS IT! Soft, spiced cake layers topped with a tart cream cheese frosting, you won’t be able to get enough of this cake!
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: cakesbymk.com/recipe/the-best...
HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/homemade...
INGREDIENTS (I recommend using gram measurements):
Carrot Cake
- 2 cups (225 g) finely grated carrots - about 3 medium sized carrots
- 1 cup (190 g) crushed canned pineapple - with the liquid removed
- 2¼ cups (290 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 on blog if you want to use cake flour)
- ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2½ tsp cinnamon - ground
- 1¾ tsp ginger - ground/powdered
- ¼ tsp cloves - ground
- ½ tsp nutmeg - ground
- 1½ cups (300 g) soft brown sugar - firmly packed (see note 2 on blog)
- 3 large eggs - room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
- 3 tsp vanilla essence/extract
- ½ cup (110 g) yoghurt - unsweetened, regular not Greek (low fat Greek yoghurt is okay). Room temperature.
- 1 cup (100 g) pecans or walnuts - coarsely chopped. I like to use both so I use 1/2 a cup of each.
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on for 35 minutes. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F).
Cream Cheese Buttercream
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter - room temp
- 4½ cups (570 g) icing/confectioners sugar - use more for a thicker frosting (see note 1 on blog)
- 1½ cups (335 g) cream cheese - cold, firm type (see note 2 on blog)
- 1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1½ tbsp lemon juice - must be fresh

This is brings back such good memories of my grandmother making pineapple carrot cake in the late 60's-early 70's. She'd push the lid down into the crushed pineapple can as she squeezed out every drop of juice into a glass, and then she'd wrestle the lid out and scrape the resulting pineapple puck out on top of the carrots I'd grated, and then she'd add a 1/2 cup each of coconut and black walnuts, which have a dizzying, almost boozy scent, and then fold that all into the batter... delicious. My sister and I also used to split [read: fight over] the leftover pineapple juice. 😂

@fabiennemitchell2371 Жыл бұрын

All cakes made with oil are very moist, therefore the pineapple is unnecessary.

@TruthfullySane Жыл бұрын

Love how you explain everything we should know like about the cold cream cheese and not over whipping. Everyone misses these small details out which then causes failures.

In the US, we use pineapple all the time in this cake. I grew up only seeing it made that way. This version of a carrot cake is very close to the southern classic Hummingbird Cake. You should make it.

At 78, I find myself tiring more easily after being on my feet baking. This time it was well worth it! Your instructions are so easy to understand and every one of them worked. I couldn’t believe it when I flipped the pans and the cake layers came out as I’d hoped. The frosting was the easiest I’ve ever made; didn’t take long at all. Wish I could have sent a photo. After I frosted the cake and added the walnuts, I cut it to sell as two halves at a local bake sale tomorrow. Can’t wait to try another of your cakes!

@coachksr 14 күн бұрын

Found out later that the two halves of this wonderful cake were sold almost immediately after the Bake Sale started. Found out who one of the women was -someone I know-and she raved and raved about it when I told her I made it. This week I’m going to make your Pistachio Cake for my son’s 52nd birthday. I know he’ll love it!

I've been using a recipe for many years now that includes pineapple with the juice (small can). It's my favorite! Tip...try adding some pineapple to the icing. It's amazing! I always get compliments. I would do this for a 13×9 cake, as it might be too loose for a decorated layer cake. Thanks for your wonderful cake recipes!

If you use cake strips, made from cloth and soaked in cold water, and wrap them around your cake pans your cakes will rise flat and you won't need to cut the domes off as you won't have any domes. I also like to add toasted coconut flakes to the batter as well of golden raisins with the walnuts make a great combination.
